Re: Why not Heisey in center??

Well, there is one more possible question that relates to all this.

Someone posted above that it's wishful thinking that a healthy Ludwick comes back this year.

Reds need to watch Ludwick's progress. At some point, if they feel he won't be truly healthy this season, they pull the switch. Heisey (maybe even Hamilton) in CF. Choo to left. Ludwick to help off the bench.

That raises questions for next year, but that's a problem for another day.

I think they will stick with the current alignment pending more info on Ludwick's situation.

Keep Choo in center. As many has said let him become very comfortable before October.

Choo will need the days off over the long haul and so will Bruce. Ludwick is most likely not coming back this season. Unless Hamilton starts hitting the ball we may have to look into a CF spot for next year.

Which brings up the HI-C, Lutz, Robinson, Paul debate. We may have trade bait brewing.

Gonna have to trade a Leake, Cingrani, Stephenson or Chapman, because no one wants those guys.

Re: Why not Heisey in center??

Well yeah, no one wants them, no upside, they've probably got better options already, or similar. The high level position player depth in this system is a bare cupboard, absolutely nothing.

We just disagree. Nothing wrong with that. Though I do agree there is little help at AAA that is ready. I do think perez would be a better in-house option than any of those guys...his age is excusable because he defected late. He isn't on thr 40 man though which might be solvable with Corky DFA'd.
